tank bra
probably should have asked before i bought but just received hd tank bra for my 08 classic. as usual, hd instructions suck. whats with the front strap. looks like the rear one goes under frame @ rear of tank but inst. say front on goes over front of tank. looks like it will slide all the way back towards rear of tank only hanging up on top of cylinders. am i missing something here?
also. bought this because jeans are scuffing paint on tank especially when i have my feet on the highway pegs. am a little concerned that this bra with do more damage than not using it! let me know what ya'll think!!! thanks

RE: tank bra
I have one. I took it off after reading here that gas and crap somtimes get trapped under bra and scratches finish.
I was just thinking about puttining it back on when I read your post. Think I will wait and see what others have to say.

RE: tank bra
+1 on the 3M paint protection. If the bra gets sand down in it your paint will suffer plus they are ugly.
I looked in the phone book and got the fairing, tank, lowers, front fender, tour pac and bags done for $250.00

RE: tank bra
Crappy Fit for sure... And like any Bra on the Putt will cause paint damage in time... Dust & sand will make it's way under the Bra and will break down the paint over time... If you do use any of them make sure you clean and put a extra heavy coat of wax on the areas to be covered... Make sure you take them off and clean & re-wax on a regular basis

RE: tank bra
I like mine. They're easy enough to remove to clean under & I think the damage will be less than the scuffing my knees were making on the tank. Keep everything clean and you'll be fine.
